1 dashboard client process was not reponding, after quitting it, it loaded ok but the cpu is running at 20% whereas it had never been more than 8% when viewing dashboard previously.
dashboard client has 3 processes when open
Had look at that site and i couldnt find this process on their list.
kernel_task
it has no process id, the user is root 1.2 52 140.00 MB 291.38 MB Intel
That's the main part of OSX (it does have a process id: zero). It always runs, and directly or indirectly starts & controls everything else. (I never noticed it's not listed on that site.)
also not listed on the site

Google says it's part of iAntiVirus. I'd recommend uninstalling it; there are no viruses that run on OSX. None. Zip. Zero. There is some "malware," such as Trojans, for Macs, though. But (unlike viruses that can get onto your system without your knowledge), you must approve their installation (via your Admin password) and/or operation (via the "This application was downloaded from the internet ..." prompt). For the gory details, see Thomas Reed's [Mac Virus Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus].
also if why safari is powerpc if the mac is intel? safari takes forever to open on the main user but is fast on the other user of this iMac
#248 Safari Andrew 11.9 14 165.41 MB 1.34 GB PowerPC
It sounds like you have an old PPC version of Safari, running under Rosetta. Did you transfer from a PPC Mac and somehow brought over an old version?
Make sure there's only one version on your Mac; there might be an older one in a sub-folder inside your Applications folder, or in a user home folder.

How to know memory load and CPU

using java how is it possible to know the memory load and cpu load
please help

The problem with the Runtime class is that, while the API states freeMemory() gives the system's free memory, it also states that totalMemory() gives only the memory allocated to the JVM, which is not necessarily (usually) the system's totoal memory. So I'm not sure how much use this would be to someone wanting to know what's going on on a system.
I worked on a project where we were monitoring PC's and what was going on with them. We had to have agent code for different Unix systems (Linux, Solaris, etc), so we just had different parsing methods depending on the OS, cuz that's all we could do.
However, I'm kinda surprised that the JVM doesn't require Runtime for each system to be able to acquire this type of info. I doubt there's an OS for which Java runs on that would be able to get this info, so it doesn't seem so difficult a request that a JVM implement this. Or at least provide API methods, like the Collections interfaces, that don't necessarily require support (throw a not supported exception if not).

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your response. My operating system is XP. When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box. The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable". I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from). None seem to make a difference. If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
Thank you,
Rick

Macbook Pro fan running constantly and CPU running slow

So, I have a Macbook Pro 2010 2.3 i7 that has started running really slow and the fan is running constantly.
In activity monitor it shows a kernel_task running constantly at around or above 200%.
I have tried all the regular tasks. PRam reset, SMC reset and nothing seems to fix it.
I have also tried a system reinstall to no avail.
Maybe I'm on the wrong track, but from what I have read, the kernel_task might be trying to slow my CPU down because it thinks it is being overworked?
Maybe the fans are also being activated because it thinks the computer is too hot?
Anyway, if anyone has any idea as to what I can do to figure out what is going on, let me know. Thanks

Here is the EtreCheck results:

Imac 27 runs hot as ****, won't sleep, and cpu runs wild in w7

I have been having audio issues with the imac 27. plugging headphones or speakers causes cpu to run crazy, the mic in the triband trrs jack does not work, and the imac runs hot, and will not go into power saver mode.
When I came in I found my nephew who was listening to some music on the imac, and I felt the back top of the imac and it was hot as ****. I almost burned my hand. I realized then that he had plugged his headphones in.
Unplugging the headphones or speakers can solve some of these problems.
But, this is not an acceptable fix.
Please contact Apple and urge them to fix these sound card issues.
If anyone does not have these problems in w7 with the imac 27 even after the latest bootcamp and imac updates, let us know right here. I think this affects every one of the late 2009 imacs and maybe some earlier ones too running windows 7.
Here's the post I recently ran on the headphone jack issue.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all!

Yes, I have been dealing with this problem since early January. I just can't believe that apple would not have the necessary driver for the sound card in the Imac 27! That's like trying to run a race and not bothering to tie your shoes! How can they not have something as basic as the sound connections working???
I was encouraged to buy a top of the line imac 27 because Apple had told us that bootcamp would enable Windows users to use the machine just as if it were a native windows machine, then they don't give us the **** drivers to use the trrs mic jack. And you can't use the external speakers without the cpu going wild and heating up like a pot bellied stove.
This is really disheartening and now I am really thinking I made a big mistake. I wouldn't mind migrating to Mac gradually, but I have lot of scientific and other programs that require windows. At this rate there will be thousands of other mac buyers who will never make the same mistake again.
As you can see I am quite angry about this, and getting more angry with each day Apple ignores every imac purchaser who expected to use Windows on the machine! Is the software for a sound card driver that difficult?
Having a computer which doesn't have sound that works correctly, is like having a car without seat, you can still drive it but isn't very **** comfortable.

My itunes wont load and just says error

I try to load up my itunes store and it just come up with (we could not complete your itunes request. An unknown error has occurred (0x800B0101)

Hello sazybaby,
I found a couple of articles that might help with the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store, I recommend reviewing this article:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If you are still not able to access the store or are getting a different error than just a white screen, I recommend the following article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Since my Lion update my CPU running over 150% when i open Adobe Bridge.

I´ve installt the Lion update last week and since i can´t open ADOBE Bridge longer then a minute before CPU runs on 150% or even more.
I had this problem ones before Lion with a server connection i just forced to quite and the problem was away.
Now it seems permanent on Adobe Bridge. I tried to empty the cache on Bridge, that doesn´t help.
Problem have to be the Lion update ....any ideas ? I really need to use Bridge again.

Sounds more like an isolated software defect, instead have Adobe repair that.

I have a mac laptop OS 10.6.5, and recently upgraded to Firefox 4 beta, but when I try to use my hotmail account, it either never stops loading and/or many files either won't open at all or keep crashing.

When I open email in my inbox, they continually load and flash. I often have to use the "back" arrow several times to make it stop. Sometimes the message just won't open at all. Also, I can't open "sent" mail at all.

There's an HTML5 compatibility issue with Windows Live / Hotmail that affects the Firefox 4.0 betas. A Hotmail rep has said that will be fixed before the Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate comes out.
Try hitting the '''Esc''' key to stop that "cycling".

This morning, Firefox stopped opening .pdf documents that I am trying to retrieve from websites. It does not download them, and the page goes blank, with nothing more happening. What do I do to fix it?

I went to the FAA website, and I needed to review a document. I clicked on the link, the page turned blank, but I never saw the document. I tried again, but I still could not get the document. Word documents still bring up the dialog box allowing me to open the document. I went to another website to find additional information on the project I am working on, and I am experiencing the same problem, when I click on a link to a pdf, it will not open, and the download dialog box does not open.
I have tried looking at applications and plugins, but everything seems to be fine. What do I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Anne
